Patient 'mistakenly' killed inside Delhi hospital in gang war
New Delhi/IBNS: A 32-year-old patient was shot dead by members of a gang inside a hospital ward in Delhi on Sunday, sparking safety concerns. Now, it turns out Riyazuddin was shot dead due to mistaken identity.
He was shot dead by an 18-year-old inside ward number 24 at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital. The man that the shooter was looking for was in the opposite bed to Riyazuddin.
The shooter was accompanied by three and entered the ward through the emergency gate, CCTV footage showed. The men belonged to the group of gangster Hashim Baba while the criminal was from Nasir gang.
The firing inside the hospital happened due to gang war, police said.
But, due to the wrong identification of the target, innocent Riyazuddin was killed.
Resident doctors at the hospital began an indefinite strike today over the killing of the patient. "Our repeated appeals for enhanced security have been ignored, culminating in this tragic event (patient's killing). Until the Delhi government ensures a secure environment for everyone within the hospital, we cannot continue our duties," a Resident Doctors' Association (RDA) spokesperson said.
